Seisen University Library

At present, the Seisen University Library possesses 320,000 books in total, covering a wide range of academic sources, including above all, valuable books such as its collection of Japanese literature and history, and rare books from Spain and Latin America. In fact, 40% of the collection is from foreign countries, and 40% of those books are in the Spanish language, reflecting the historical connection of the university with Spain.

In addition, electronic journals, and online databases in three languages including Japanese, English and Spanish, are accessible to students through the computer network within the university. The library staff is ready to assist students by offering personal guidance for better utilizing our services, including searching for reference materials necessary for their reports and thesis.

Wellness Center

The Wellness Center is staffed with healthcare professionals and counselors to support students for physical and mental health. The services include annual health check-ups, medical and health consultations, and first aid, counseling in mental health, career planning, human relations, and so forth. We also assist in academic matters such as report writing, registration for courses, and so forth.

International Center

The purpose of International Center is to promote international exchanges of students, especially with partner universities. It assists students at Seisen who plan to study abroad for both long and short periods of time. It gives helping hands to the inbound students, both regular and exchange, to ensure that they have a satisfactory life at Seisen and in Japan. It also organizes various international programs, including short-term Japanese Language and Culture classes for overseas students who study Japanese．

Seisen University also has many internal organizations for social service activities. These include organizations concerned with global issues such as: refugee problems; human rights protection; peace-building efforts; environmental problems; trade imbalance; and the Great East Japan Earthquake disaster relief services, as well as those related to local issues such as local community problems. The Center supports the development of students’ identity through voluntary activities by encouraging them to “Think globally and act locally”.
